Here is part two of my spring beauty haul! More NYX stuff (love my NYX) and some random items I found while browsing at Ulta.

I had no business getting a third body scrub right now, but this smelled so amazing, I just couldn’t pass it up. The Original scent smelled really great too, sort of like a nutty, buttery, shea butter smell, but I went with this one since it had a touch of tropical to it. At under $8 it was a steal. My other body scrubs cost twice that for half the amount of product, so if I like this, I plan to rotate between this fragrance and the original one. They had many others as well but those were the two I loved.

This is a face brush from UBU, which is a Tweezerman company. They had one of these on display and it felt amazing so I had to get it, it was only $10 and was actually something I needed, plus, it’s pink! It does an amazing job and is so soft on my face. It was a bargain and well worth more than what I paid.

This is the Brush Lab Boar Bristle Brush specifically made for detangling medium to long hair. This is the first boar bristle brush I’ve owned, and let me tell you, it’s wonderful! My hair never gets snagged in it and it is so gentile, yet does the job. I’m so glad I grabbed this for $15. I don’t think I’ll ever be going back to plastic brushes again. If anyone knows of a good travel sized boar bristle brush, please let me know where to find it.

I picked up two more NYX Creamy Round Lipsticks (original review here) in the colors Margarita, shown above, and Fig.

Also picked up two more NYX Butter Glosses (original review here) in Merenge, shown above, and Strawberries and Cream.

I added two more NYX Eye Pencils to my collection in the colors Teal and Baby Blue. I have been using the black and white versions a lot more lately and have really grown to love them. Initially I wasn’t that impressed because the color is very soft, so it’s not going to give a precise, crisp looking color, but I love them to accent my lower lashes. I do that a lot in the summer since I’m wearing less makeup.

Swatches shown above are the NYX products: eye liners in Teal and Baby Blue, Creamy Round Lipsticks in Fig and Margarita, Butter Glosses in Merenge and Strawberries and Cream.

I also picked up these two NYX shadow palettes in Stormy Skies and Dusk til Dawn. I love them, the colors are amazing and I’ve been wearing them every day since I got them. They also had another one called Golden Horizons but those colors had more of an orange, sunset theme and weren’t colors I wear often. These were $14 each.

I also got this necklace from the ShopLately seller OpaqueLion. It was my first purchase from ShopLately and I am very happy with it. This is similar to the Bauble Bar jewelry in style and quality but it was only $18. It came in three days and was well packaged. I plan to purchase from OpaqueLion in the future. I also ordered another necklace from a different seller but that has not arrived yet.

Thanks for reading part two of my spring beauty haul. Take a look at part one if you haven’t already. Let me know if there is something I need to try!

Have you always wanted one of those crystal clear acrylic makeup storage chests with the drawers? The ones just like Kim Kardashian’s $300 storage drawers? I found a place that sells some that are pretty much identical. Muji has a store in Times Square, New York selling various items including acrylic makeup storage containers. The containers are also available for purchase online, so I ordered one. I got the large five drawer case, but they come in several configurations and sizes.

It came well packaged and the item was completely wrapped to prevent any scratches or chips in the acrylic. The drawers were unaligned initially, but once I re-inserted them, they slid great and stayed in the track. I purchased several other matching items, including the top section shown below from The Container Store to complete my makeup vanity. These are all great products and are very reasonably priced. They look expensive and are of high quality. I believe the only difference between these and Kim’s are the little handles vs. the pulls. I honestly prefer the Muji brand pulls much better.

What it is: a brush used to apply and blend concealer. Replaced the original one that was smaller in size.

I used this to apply several different types of concealer to my under eye area with positive results each time. I was able to blend smoothly and precisely despite my misgivings about the larger size. The bristles are soft and glide over my skin nicely. Estee Lauder brushes tend to be of nice quality, and this is my pick for a concealer brush.

Like this:

What it is: a set of 12 pastel cotton flannel rounds measuring approx. 3″ wide.

I came across these by accident while browsing the beauty section on Etsy. Since I am always getting cotton in my eyes from the regular cotton rounds, I decided to give these a try. I ordered a set to remove eye makeup and another to apply toner. They arrived in two days, well packaged and as pictured in the shop listing. They work wonderfully for both purposes and I no longer have irritated, scratched eyes from cotton debris. They are super soft and I find that I am using less product with these, which is an added money saving bonus. I use them once, then toss them in a lengerie bag to wash at the end of the week. The edges are stitched so they don’t fray when washed. They come in a massive array of colors and patters, different textures, and the seller will even do custom orders. Great for a multitude of beauty uses as well as for new moms and babies. I’ve already purchased two additional sets as gifts.

Pros: Soft, No Shedding, Money Saving, Washable, Pretty

Cons: None

Cost: $6 for a set of 12
